Minor in Classical Studies

Overview

Rome offers students the ideal location for studying Classical Studies. The ancient Roman world is still present in the city’s monuments, artwork, and inscriptions, in its rich museum collections, and in the profound influence of the classical tradition on its contemporary architecture. In this setting, our courses explore not only ancient Roman, but also ancient Greek society, history, literature, philosophy, religion, mythology, archaeology, art, and architecture. 

Classical Studies students learn to analyze major historical, cultural, philological, and artistic developments in the classical world, and to interpret different kinds of sources, from poetry and art to political tracts and architecture, in these contexts. They apply methods, knowledge, and theories from various disciplines, and develop their ability to think and communicate analytically and rigorously. This knowledge and these skills complement their studies in other fields, such as communications, political science, and international affairs, as well as other humanities fields like art history, history, and English literature.
